His involvement in the cited cases says way too much about his personal commitment to Human Rights. It would seem that he is a perfect choice for an organization that appeals to the baser human instincts of its followers and makes loads of money telling lies about GLBT folks.

Does that move Orson Scott Card up the corporate ladder a bit?

What I would love to be at their next board meeting. I would sit there and unwrap Jolly Rancher hard candies. Unwrap real s l o w l y.

Not to mention hyperbole.

NOM probably couldn’t stand her doing the same thing at their staff meetings so the canned her.

Why does this press release sound so much like Glen Beck saying he was “evolving” when he got canned from Fox?

Usually the problem in an outfit like this is that the deep pockets are drying up and they want to get new pockets lined up. The *first* job of a board member is to raise money for the organization.

Over the past decade, the People of California have engaged in an epic battle over the very definition of marriage, a bedrock institution that has long been recognized as â€œone of the cornerstones of our civilized society.â€

Nothing quite like histrionics and mixed metaphors.
